Can someone pls tell me when the compulsaries start with GWT or central european? I keep getting confused with eastern time, japanese time etc.. I thought eastern time was GWT - 5 as NYC is 5 hrs behind of London but last week I found out I was wrong..

The US was on daylight savings time until a few days ago. Now that they're back to standard time, it should be 6 hours between the US east coast and CET.

Can you honestly say you're suprised, given many female contenders reducing the jump content due to significant UR penalty fears?
Unless she's planning to take on Yuna, I doubt she'll ever do 3+3 from now on.

I don't think she needs at this point, and this competition. All she needs is skate clean and try to get the PCS at least around 30 in the SP and over 60 in the FS.

Having a clean skate will definitely put the judges on notice and hopefully get higher PCS score in olympics. Because right now both her and Joannie is at least 10 disavantage on PCS score and the gap need to be narrow as possible, to remotely have a chance of ovar taking KIm (if she makes a mistake).

My plan, do a clean 3+2 in SP, and see how much cushion she can get and try the 3+3 in the free.

Thanks for the link. Yes, Takahashi's quads dont look good but the rest of the jumps looked very good to me.
Miki's 3+3's were also solid. I wish despite the UR penalty fears she'd try a 3+3 in LP even if she doesn't really need it to win. It makes the whole thing more exciting.

Thanks for the clip! Miki looks fantastic and yes, her 2a/3t and 3lz/3lp appear to be huge and clean. But then again she has a tendency to go rock slolid practices and go a bit slow and tentative in the real competitions. I hope she'll prove me wrong!

Here's a link to a very helpful time zone converter. It has saved me from missing many an event! Hope it helps you, too!
